EFC Africa Slates 170, 145-Pound Title Bouts for Sept. 1 Card

EFC Africa officials Monday revealed the complete, 10-fight bill
for
EFCA 10, which takes place Sept. 1 at Carnival City Casino and
Entertainment World in Brakpan, Gauteng, South Africa. As with all
recent EFCA events, the full card will be streamed live and free of
charge on the promotion’s official
website.

Topping the show will be EFCA welterweight champion Adam
Speechly (Pictured), who will look to defend his title for the
first time in a rematch with potent finisher Dallas
Jakobi. The pair met previously in 2009, with Speechly earning
a first-round submission victory.

Since then, Jakobi has embarked on a 4-1 run, including a current
three-fight win streak in the cage of EFCA. The 29-year-old Durban
native was last seen in April, when he stopped Wade
Henderson with second-round elbows at
EFCA 8. On the same card, Speechly, 22, left the opening round
for the first time in his career, but once again submitted fellow
ground specialist Nolan
Swanepoel to become EFCA’s inaugural welterweight
titleholder.

Gloss, a former professional boxer, has racked up an 8-2 record
since turning to MMA in 2009, scoring knockouts in seven of his
eight victories. The 36-year-old has competed at all but one EFCA
event and is unbeaten in his last five outings since dropping to
featherweight. Also perfect in his short EFCA career is the
21-year-old “Wolf” Pena, who recorded a 24-second submission win in
his February debut before outpointing fellow youngster Jean-Luc
Kazadi in April.
